The very first episode of Good Eats is on Hulu, and it's about tofu. While watching it, I realized that Alton and I put the accent on different parts of the word. So now I'm curious about the rest of you. Is it TO-fu or to-FU?

I say to-FU, I think.One time someone told me the way I said it was cute. And then my friend made fun of me for being weird, since apparently only 17% of the universe (according to this poll as of now) says it the way I do.

Yeah, this. I don't think I pronounce it either way that's mentioned or even heard it said in those ways?

man, now I've been sitting at my desk for a good minute saying tofu over and over again trying to figure out where I put the emphasis. And I have no clue. I think I say it approximately "toe-foo" like PP.

Yeah but I don't think I make any emphasis and I don't think I've ever heard someone do that.
